Ryan Reynolds has once again captured the hearts of his fans, but this time, he’s doing it with a twist—bringing together two beloved superheroes, Deadpool and Kidpool, alongside a legendary star, Lynda Carter, in an unexpected holiday campaign for SickKids. The collaboration, which blends humor, heroism, and holiday cheer, has fans buzzing about this surprising crossover.
The Dynamic Duo: Deadpool and Kidpool
In this festive video, Ryan Reynolds reprises his iconic role as Deadpool, this time joined by none other than his 8-year-old daughter, Inez Reynolds, who plays Kidpool. The father-daughter duo has a natural comedic chemistry that immediately stands out. Deadpool’s irreverent humor and Kidpool’s mischievous antics form a hilarious and heartwarming partnership as they work together to “eliminate” sickness for sick kids, a cheeky twist on the usual superhero missions. Their playful dynamic proves that there’s more to Deadpool than just his sharp wit—he’s a loving father with a lot of fun up his sleeve.

The Legendary Lynda Carter Joins the Fun
To add some extra star power to the campaign, none other than Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, makes a cameo appearance. At 73, Carter still exudes the same grace and heroic charm that made her a cultural icon in the 1970s TV series. Her appearance in the video adds an extra layer of excitement for fans, bringing together Marvel and DC in a way that only Deadpool could pull off. True to form, Reynolds doesn’t shy away from poking fun at DC in the video, blending both universes for a fun and unique crossover.
The Ugly Christmas Sweater Tradition
No Ryan Reynolds holiday campaign would be complete without the infamous ugly Christmas sweater, a tradition that has become almost as famous as the actor himself. What started as an inside joke among friends has evolved into an annual event, with Reynolds humorously showcasing his hideous knitwear for a good cause. This year, the ugly sweater serves a deeper purpose, symbolizing warmth and generosity, perfectly fitting for the holiday season and for the kids at SickKids. Fans will remember how Reynolds was once the only one dressed up at a sweater party, pranked by friends Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. The sweater’s return this year, however, is filled with heart and humor, giving it an added layer of significance.
Fan Reactions and Excitement
Reynolds’ unexpected collaboration with his daughter and Lynda Carter has fans excited and full of praise. Social media has been abuzz with comments like, “Good lord. How is Lynda Carter still so gorgeous?!?” and “This was the crossover we needed!” Many were also quick to praise Inez Reynolds as Kidpool, calling her the star of the show. “Kidpool stole the show; she’s like Deadpool, but with double the mischief and triple the sarcasm,” one fan said, acknowledging just how impressive and entertaining the duo’s performances were.
Ryan Reynolds: A Hollywood Journey
Beyond his holiday campaigns, Ryan Reynolds’ journey in Hollywood is one filled with notable achievements and memorable roles. Before becoming the beloved Deadpool, Reynolds appeared in several TV shows, such as Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Scrubs. He starred in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder and Just Friends, and eventually became the superhero everyone wanted to see in the role of Deadpool.
Interestingly, Reynolds’ first foray into the superhero world was as Green Lantern in 2011, a film that flopped and is often remembered for its animated costume. Reynolds himself admits that the film’s failure was due to rushed production, but he looks back at it with no regrets. He believes that his experience on Green Lantern helped him overcome his fear of heights, which stemmed from a traumatic parachute jump in his youth.
It wasn’t until Deadpool hit the big screen that Reynolds truly found his superhero persona, earning millions and a Golden Globe nomination. Deadpool became a box-office sensation, with Reynolds bringing his unique charm and wit to the character, making it one of the most iconic superhero films in modern cinema.
Ryan Reynolds’ Personal Life and Family
While Reynolds is known for his humor and on-screen antics, his personal life also continues to captivate fans. The actor has been married to actress Blake Lively for over 10 years, and the couple shares four children together. Their relationship is full of lighthearted moments and playful online banter, with the two often joking around on social media. Reynolds’ family life seems to be a perfect balance of humor, love, and privacy.
Before marrying Lively, Reynolds was briefly married to actress Scarlett Johansson. His relationship with Lively, however, has been far more enduring, with the couple even going on a double date before they started dating each other—though with other people. The Reynolds-Lively family continues to be one of Hollywood’s most beloved and down-to-earth couples.
Conclusion: Why Fans Love a Good Crossover
One of the joys of being a fan of entertainment is the thrill of seeing crossovers, reunions, and unexpected collaborations. Ryan Reynolds’ holiday campaign with Kidpool and Lynda Carter exemplifies this magic perfectly. Whether it’s the nostalgic joy of seeing Wonder Woman team up with Deadpool or the heartwarming fun of watching Deadpool’s daughter shine, moments like these remind fans of why they love seeing their favorite stars come together. With humor, heart, and a bit of cheeky fun, this campaign is the perfect holiday gift for both Deadpool fans and those who love to see unexpected moments of joy and connection.
Reynolds continues to show that he is not only a superhero on screen, but also a hero in real life, using his star power to give back and bring attention to important causes. With his family, humor, and heart, Reynolds proves once again that the magic of the holidays can be found in the most unexpected places.
